Nicaragua's National School Connectivity Plan Offering far-away school children access to the digital world
free software
In less than six months, an ITU pioneering project in Nicaragua has provided children at five remote schools with computers, electricity and Internet access. It has also put social and economic development tools in the hands of the communities in which the schools are located. Just to reach these isolated schools proved to be a logistic challenge. In some locations, the project team had to use a helicopter, four-wheel drive vehicles and even carts pulled by oxen to carry materials. They had to ford rivers, cross a large lake by ferry, and climb steep slopes that were thick with mud because of the heavy rains. It was all worthwhile. Through its "Connect a School, Connect a Community" initiative, ITU aims to ensure that all people have access to information and communication technologies (ICT) and to the applications these technologies offer. To achieve that lofty goal means ensuring that people living in urban, rural and isolated areas are able to use ICT. This implies making every effort to provide ICT access to disadvantaged and vulnerable groups, including women, persons with disabilities, children and youth, and indigenous peoples. In Nicaragua, ITU has helped to connect five model schools in different terrains, including one that is so remote that computers had to be dragged up dirt trails by ox-cart. Children in that remote location are delighted to be using computers and accessing the Internet for the first time.
It all started with a cooperation agreement between ITU and the Nicaraguan regulatory authority, the Institute for Telecommunications and Posts (TELCOR). ITU committed to cooperating in devising a draft national school connectivity plan for Nicaragua and to conducting a pilot project for connecting public schools and enabling them also to function as community centres using different networking technologies.
Preparing Nicaragua's plan There are 8154 primary and secondary schools in the public school system in Nicaragua, and a national school connectivity plan has to take account of the number of children attending those schools, the location of the schools, as well as the availability of Internet access for the schools. First, a review was carried out of policies and regulations in force in the telecommunications sector in terms of their impact on facilitating Internet access. This was followed by an analysis of the policy and regulatory elements that would enable better provision of connectivity to schools than that offered before the project started. Based on this analysis and on the situation of the telecommunications sector in Nicaragua, it was recommended that a national school connectivity plan should be implemented in stages. Potential policy approaches that could be adopted at the highest government level might include steps to: • eliminate value-added tax for Internet service for schools; • set preferential rates for the educational sector; • impose conditions on companies before granting or renewing concessions for the use of frequencies, requiring companies to provide Internet service to schools at no cost or at preferential rates; • promote the reduction of prices for international connectivity for Nicaraguan operators, to be reflected in lower prices for customers; • auction spectrum that is not in use, on the condition that the licensee provides connectivity to schools at no cost, for the duration of the licence; • use the proceeds of the Telecommunications Investment Fund (FITEL) to provide Internet services to schools and to finance the purchase of equipment needed to serve this purpose. Pilot project connects schools as community centres The pilot project was launched in July 2010, when ITU expert Claudia Gómez Costa travelled into the interior of the country. She spent more than two months there and, in collaboration with government authorities, selected the schools that would be part of the project, carry it through and become community centres. Initially, two schools were to be connected. ITU and TELCOR worked together as a dynamic team, with the result that the project exceeded TELCOR's expectations. Careful management of project resources and additional resource mobilization enabled ITU to connect three more schools than the two originally planned. Ms Gómez Costa explains, "The schools to be connected as community centres were all in Rivas department and were selected on the basis of two criteria: their geographical location and the feasibility of Internet access. The aim was that the schools connected using various technologies under the pilot project could then be held up as models for the vast majority of schools in Nicaragua which have not yet been connected to the Internet." As the technical experts and lead trainers worked alongside teachers, students and parents, and shared journeys, meals, intensive training activities and rest periods, they developed bonds which kept them focused on following through the project. This created a level of energy that drove everyone to move forward and achieve a common goal. By the end of the project in December 2010, each school was equipped with 20 computers. Of the 100 computers distributed, 60 were provided free of charge by ITU as part of the project and 40 were donated by Intel Corporation. The Claro-Enitel Corporation offered free Internet connectivity for the five schools for one year. A total of 98 teachers in rural schools were trained in ICT. Each school – acting as a community centre – received four hours of training on site and four hours online, once a week for five weeks. A total of 921 students and 2923 people in the communities where the five schools are located are benefiting from the project. Commenting on this achievement, Brahima Sanou, Director of ITU's Telecommunication Development Bureau said: "I'm delighted with the success of this project in Nicaragua, which shows what can be achieved when ITU and its Member States work together to connect schools. We are supporting ITU Member States in a variety of countries to develop National School Connectivity Plans, model schools and school-based community ICT centres. I encourage all ITU Administrations to take the necessary steps to connect their schools by 2015 in line with the goals set by world leaders during the World Summit on the Information Society." The schools The Pedro Joaquín Chamorro School is situated 16 kilometres from San Juan del Sur in Genízaro – a rural area with semi-urban characteristics, located beside a paved highway and easy to reach. A fairly conventional 3G connection with a Yagi antenna for signal gain was used for the Pedro Joaquín Chamorro school. The teachers were thrilled when they learned that their school had been selected, and were enthusiastic about undergoing training to ensure that this new resource would be properly managed as a teaching tool. The school is very close to the community of Torovenado, and together with six other schools constitutes the local rural school district. The teachers at the Pedro Joaquín Chamorro School said that it would be fantastic if teachers at the other schools in the district could be trained as well. This initiative was heartily supported by the Ministry of Education representative because it means that trained teachers from the satellite schools can take their students and their students' parents to the Internet-connected school to gain experience in using the Internet for learning purposes. Another conventional technology, a canopy antenna installed on top of a water tank, was used for the Fidel González School in Cárdenas, a municipal district in Rivas department near the Costa Rican border on the shore of Lake Nicaragua, 145 kilometres south of Managua. Cárdenas is a rural area with some urban characteristics, and the community is accessible by a paved road. The road passes through a wind farm of 19 turbines generating electricity. The teachers at the Fidel González School considered that the school's high enrolment and the fact that it offered secondary education, as well as pre-school and primary education, were compelling arguments in favour of an Internet connection and access to ICT for learning purposes. Natalie, a schoolchild, says "We can work on the Internet right here. We will not have to pay extra to get the information we need for schoolwork. It is brilliant!" Also, the community wants to use the new Internet connection to promote tourism and gain access to rural extension programmes. The Francisca Hernández School is in El Ostional, a tiny fishing village 21 kilometres south of San Juan del Sur. The school is truly the heart of the community. The road to El Ostional is not always passable. When it rains a lot, the road – which is a muddy dirt road built on a base of crushed rock – gets washed out by the overflowing rivers and creeks that cross it. The residents talked to the project team about their fishery and their hope of starting a tourism campaign. Connecting the community was paramount, right from the beginning. Because of the school's remote location, it was decided to use very small aperture terminal (VSAT) technology to provide Internet connection. Teachers said that they had never thought it would be possible to have the Internet in their village. When the schoolchildren were asked whether being able to work on a computer is a good thing, the answer was a resounding "Yes!" The Andrés Castro School in Tichaná is at the foot of the Maderas volcano at the southern tip of Ometepe island, in the Altagracia municipal district. The school is close the highway that connects Santa Cruz and San Pedro, and together with three other schools along the island's coastline up to Mérida constitutes the local rural school district. Getting to the school requires taking a ferry from the mainland across Lake Nicaragua to Puerto Moyogalpa on the island, and then travelling the rest of the way by road. Part of the road is very good, but then it becomes extremely rough. During the rainy season, several sections of the road are flooded and only an off-road, four-wheel drive vehicle can make it through. Again, because of the school's remote location, the Internet connection used VSAT technology. The teachers immediately saw the benefits of their school having an Internet connection, because it gives their students a chance to move on to secondary school. In the tiny community, the highest level of formal education available is primary school. The mother of one student suggested very shyly that she might get together with other mothers to use the Internet to find ways to improve their plantain crops and market their handicrafts. The Francisco Morazán School in Panzuaca, Tola, was the fifth school selected, and getting it included in the pilot project was one of the most gratifying aspects of the entire exercise. The rural, scattered community of Panzuaca sits in the middle of the dense Tola jungle, 125 metres above sea level. Starting from the town of Rivas, the capital of Rivas department, Tola can be reached by a paved road. To get from Tola to the school means following a roiling river and walking two hours through the jungle or riding on mule-back. At Panzuaca, school meant pre-school or primary classes held outdoors or under leaking roofs for 30 or so children. There was no electricity and there were no generators, so solar panels had to be installed along with the VSAT technology. Community groups built the classroom. The Mayor provided the materials, while the community provided the ox-carts needed to transport them. In spite of inclement weather and poor road conditions, doors, posts, bricks and sheets of plywood were all brought to Panzuaca, and within a week the classroom was ready. The VSAT antenna took seven hours to reach Panzuaca by ox-cart. The entire community helped to install it. Men cut utility poles to support the antenna and dug holes for the guy-wires. Women carried bags of heavy stones up from the river, and one of the ox-carts was used to help brace the antenna during the installation. The impact By the end of the project, people were already using ICT confidently and successfully. Access to the Internet will certainly contribute to their economic and social development, and will enhance their quality of life. Students are now comfortable using e-mail, chat and videoconferencing, searching for and using information on school subjects (mathematics, languages, science, social studies, art and so on), creating their own blogs, and publishing their own experiences. José Pablo de la Roca, TELCOR Director of Planning and Development, who was the national focal point of the ITU project, says: "The 'Connect a School, Connect a Community' project, executed by the International Telecommunication Union and the regulator TELCOR in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, provided the opportunity for the five beneficiary communities to access information and knowledge, with technology harnessed for productive, social purposes of particular benefit to the youngest generation. The project also made it possible to map out a route for connecting schools at national level, identifying various major challenges such as financing, the need to tighten the ties of collaboration between the public and private sectors, the cultural change in the use of technology, and the importance of developing human capacity at local level." On a wider scale, the National School Connectivity Plan developed by the project was well received by TELCOR, which has indicated that it will use the plan as a foundation for providing Internet connectivity for the majority of Nicaraguan public schools. As José Pablo de la Roca says, "The project has taught us valuable lessons, such as the possibility of using different technologies for urban and rural areas in future projects; the need to decentralize technical and teaching assistance at local level, since centralizing assistance makes it impossible to ensure the success of a project like this; and the requirement for public sector institutions to work together based on common objectives, in which respect we can count on a Ministry of Education that takes advantage of ICT to improve education and a regulator committed to making sure that everyone has access to ICT." Along with proper training, these school-based community centres equipped with ICT are starting to open up a new world. Web-based activities can be carried out among groups of schools. The community can take advantage of training opportunities, and enjoy the ability to produce local content, promoting the community's own culture. Clearly, the Nicaraguan project could serve as a model for other developing countries.

Jersey City (N.J.) St. Peter's Prep star athlete Will Hill recorded an astonishing 3,517 all-purpose yards as a junior, and college recruiters have taken notice in a major way. Almost certain to be a member of the Rivals100 next year, his head coach Rich Hansen took the time to discuss his talented pupil abilities and recruitment.Making his presence heavily known on both sides of the ball, one of the hot topics for 2008 is where Hill can make the greatest impact at the collegiate level."That's the biggest question in the country I think. Or at least the biggest question that comes across my desk," said Hansen. "I don't know. I think his preference is to win. If he's given a choice to win and play defense, I think that's what his choice would be. But he'll do whatever. Obviously when you see him, he jumps off the film because of his offensive production, but he's a tremendous safety. Tremendous. "I think the big thing is that he provides a lot of flexibility to whoever recruits him and gets him because he'll be able to play multiple positions. He plays wide receiver for us, slot, running back, safety, returns punts and kicks, and of course quarterback."While Hill contributes in a number of ways on the offensive side of the ball for his high school team, Hansen feels that there is one position where he could best translate his abilities to the college game. ...More...

Today's date is April 28th. So if you worked last year and haven't filed a tax return, you're late. That is reason number one. If your a college student investigating how to pay for school, you also have two more. 2) You (and possibly your parents) need to complete your tax return before your FAFSA application can be filled out completely and accurately. Many of you may have chosen the option of estimating income numbers, when filling your aid application out. Your school may still ask for copies of your return(s) though for verification. 3) Tax rebates start going out today! You've probably heard or read this in the news already. Most of us this year are going to be getting a $600 to $1,200 rebate back from the federal government on top of whatever tax return we are owed. But you have to file a 2007 return to get it. Though you may already have plenty of things to earmark those dollars for, now is a great time to have a bit of free cash at your disposal for things like school and scholarship application fees, needed supplies for dorm life, or gas and food money for college visits.
When students graduate with a bachelor's degree sometimes they find it difficult to pay those loans back. Graduate or professional level students often have an even higher student loan bill looming in the distance. So it's not surprising that graduates would look for loan forgiveness programs. Traditionally there have been teacher loan forgiveness programs. That is graduates who took out certain types of loans can get a part of their loan forgiven (so that they don't have to pay it back) if they work as a K-12 teacher for a certain number of years. Individual school districts with teacher shortages or with a higher risk population may also have teacher loan forgiveness programs. Loan forgiveness for doctors, nurses and others in medical professions can also be found. This week Inside Higher Ed presents an article on Loan Forgiveness, Beyond Law and Medicine. Now it looks like loan forgiveness programs are expanding into other areas besides these traditional ones.
College students – now is the perfect time to find out if you can get an internship for summer. Many employers – especially non profit organizations – use interns. Sometimes you get paid for the internship and other times your benefit is just work experience and a resume builder. If you don't want an internship for summertime you might consider it for next spring or fall. Also, don't forget to ask your college professors if you can get credit for your internship. Sometimes you can get 1-3 hours worth of credit for your internship. Normally that is if it relates to your major in some way.

Wood Hindu God Ayyappan Statue 24" Item # 65w13i
- Materials: Hand Carved Mango Tree Wood from Tamil Nadu, India
- Total Height Including Base: 25 inches
- Base Width & Depth: 12 x 5 inches
- Weight: 10 pounds
- Ayyappan is the son of Shiva and Vishnu in the female form of Mohini
- The Ayyappa Sabarimala temple in Kerala, is the site of the most famous Ayyappa temple in the world and is visited by more than 50 million devotees each year
Ayyappa is a one of a kind sculpture hand carved by the wood artists of South India. The Ayyappa pictured is the only Ayyappa statue Lotus Sculpture has like this in our store. When you order this Ayyappa you will receive the exact sculpture pictured. Ayyappa is truly one of a kind as there is only one statue made exactly like this!
Wood statues are easy to take care of as they just need some annual upkeep to keep them looking as they did when they were first carved. All the wood used by Lotus Sculpure's artists is dried out for months. Moisture causes cracks in the sculpture as the wood contracts and expands in different temperatures. Our wood has little to no moisture in it assuring that the sculpture is not going to crack in its journey into different climates. Here are some simple tips to keep your statue in good condition:
- Dust the statue as needed to prevent dirt build up
- To make the statue shine use a natural wood cleaner and a cotton cloth to buff the sculpture
We recommend keeping wooden statues in an indoor environment. Wood statues can go outside however, they will wear more quickly and develop an antique appearance. If you would like to put a wood statue from Lotus Sculpture outside and keep the same appearance of the sculpture we would recommend first coating the statue with a couple of layers of sealant or polyurethane. We would then recommend placing the statue in a partially covered area. The more exposure to the elements the more the statue will wear over time. Please feel free to contact us directly if you have any questions regarding your wooden statue from Lotus Sculpture, (760) 994-4455 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Top 10 Quotes of Pope John Paul II at World Youth Day 2002
1. "People are made for happiness. Rightly, then, you thirst for happiness. Christ has the answer to this desire of yours. But he asks you to trust him. True joy is a victory, something which cannot be obtained without a long and difficult struggle. Christ holds the secret of this victory." (Welcoming Address, 2)
2. "The joy promised by the Beatitudes is the very joy of Jesus himself: a joy sought and found in obedience to the Father and in the gift of self to others. …By looking at Jesus you will learn what it means to be poor in spirit, meek and merciful; what it means to seek justice, to be pure in heart, to be peacemakers." (Welcoming Address, 4, 5)
3. "To believe in Jesus is to accept what he says, even when it runs contrary to what others are saying. It means rejecting the lure of sin, however attractive it may be, in order to set out on the difficult path of the Gospel virtues." (Welcoming Address, 7)
4. "Christ alone is the cornerstone on which it is possible solidly to build one's existence. Only Christ – known, contemplated and loved – is the faithful friend who never lets us down, who becomes our travelling companion, and whose words warm our hearts (cf. Lk 24:13-35)." (Downsview Address, 3)
5. "The future is in your hearts and in your hands. God is entrusting to you the task, at once difficult and uplifting, of working with him in the building of the civilization of love." (Downsview Address, 4)
6. "Dear young people, let yourselves be taken over by the light of Christ, and spread that light wherever you are." (Downsview Address, 5)
7. "Why have you come together from all parts of the world? To say in your hearts: "Lord, to whom shall we go?" Who has the words of eternal life? "You have the words of eternal life" (Jn 6,68). Jesus – the intimate friend of every young person – has the words of life." (Closing Homily, 3)
8. "The world you are inheriting is a world which desperately needs a new sense of brotherhood and human solidarity. It is a world which needs to be touched and healed by the beauty and richness of God's love." (Closing Homily, 3)
9. "There are many priests, seminarians and consecrated persons here today; be close to them and support them! And if, in the depths of your hearts, you feel the same call to the priesthood or consecrated life, do not be afraid to follow Christ on the royal road of the Cross!" (Closing Homily, 5)
10. "We are not the sum of our weaknesses and failures; we are the sum of the Father's love for us and our real capacity to become the image of his Son." (Closing Homily, 5)

Thanks for the tips LSB and Mike. I'll swing through the LHS for some 1/32"x1/16" bass tomrrow.
It occured to me while I was looking over the Baby Ace plans that the wintips laminated with the leading edge won't work because the tips are swept up. Makes them easier...probably... Do you have a pic of your laminated parts Mike? EDIT: On second thought, I'm pressing forward with what I have. It is due time to get moving. Building projects are begining to snowball and roll down hill |

cheers, the other other Graham in Embrun near Ottawa Canada. Quote:
Here are the laminated parts I started the night before last. I looked at the plans, and you were right, the wing tips are supposed to be tilted up. Oh well... The tail surfaces are ready to sand, cut apart, trim to size, and cover. Wing will be dry and ready to sand down tomorrow. Then comes the fuselage. You know, I really do prefer a good laser cut kit |
Nice work Mike!
Frammed the rudder and fin. I extended the fin tail post to the bottom of the fuse. I can just cut it off if it dosen't work out. First experience with Superphaltic. I like it so far. Time for bed now.... |

Over in the scale modeling forum (forget which thread or person) I ran across a technique where he was using 1/64 ply in his laminations. I gave it a try and was quite pleased with the results. A bit heavier than bass wood but gave a very nice strong surface.
My adaptation is to use 2 or 3 layers of 1/32 balsa (medium A grain) with a strip of 1/64 ply on the outside of piece. I cut the ply narrower than the desired final thickness of the piece and lay it up so that the ply is at/near the centre of the leading edge of piece, the ply being much harder to sand than the balsa. A bit fiddly to set up but I have like the results. Bass is also a very good choice and nearly as tough as the 1/64 ply. I will post some pictures later of a piece done this way. Another tip from reading about FF techniques is to use 1/16 aluminum tubing for the outlines of horizontal and vertical stabilizers. Very scale like and if the size of the model is large enough you won't notice the difference. Easy to bend to shape over a former and not need to laminate and glue wet. For this size model I think this method would be a bit heavy but I may make a couple of pieces and weigh them to see. I have used this on larger (24" or so wingspan) planes. I will post a picture of a piece made this way later. Now, I just gotta figure out what motor I am going to use. Lets see, Walnut size plane, 2 ounces all up (max Est) and single lipoly cell. And, I just received a MPS V2 micro receiver (for actuators). Very nicely made, as nice as the JMP or RFFS-100 and narrowband too. Haven't had the chance to test it out yet but once I do I will be sure to post my comments. Cheers, the other other Graham in Embrun near Ottawa Canada Quote:
Nice work Mike.
Did you use ailerons on both wings of your Pitts and how big were they? I started building the sideframes of the Jungmeister today,was wondering if I should stick with the flat bottom wing profile(I want to use molded sliced ribs) or switch to something else? Dennis |
The Pitts I modeled was an early version with ailerons on the lower wing only. They are 5/8" wide and match the scale size and location. In this narrow a wing span, not much control is really needed unless you want real snappy rolls! I used the flat bottomed airfoil shown on the plans. It may have been too thick (or maybe the design was just too draggy) since the flight speed was pretty slow compared to others similarly powered and weighted designs I have flown. As you can see, there is a lot of nose for the amount of airplane! The design I used was David Jone's plans featured in a 1971 issue of Model Builder, and is avalable from Hannan's Runway or Peck-Polymers for $2.35 |
Pacific ace embryo
Hi there,
A few months ago I started building a pacific ace embryo, it has 14 inch span and I was trying it as a test bed for undercamber airfoil wing test. Here a are some pics of what I have built so far. I was wondering, could I enter with this in the cook up. I know it is not dime scale but a larger free flight ship I did build for about 30 Inch wing span flew deligthfully! Regards Enrico |

here is a picture of a piece made with 1/16 aluminium tube for the outline. Not suitable for a walnut size plane but a good technique non the less. I think I might try it anyways and compare in weight to one made with laminated balsa and bass and another perhaps made of bamboo.
Weight of this part around 1 gram |

If you are planning on scale flight speeds, then I would say add undercamber to the airfoil. It will have a big effect and you will not regret it as long as you dont fly it inverted. |
The common version of the Pitts with a non symmetrical airfoil and lower ailerons only is the Pitts S-1C. The famous "Li'l Stinker" was a S-1C. |

If I build an old style glider can i build an origonal launch plane? i want to build the glider with rc and a free flight piggy back carrier to get it up in the air and when the plane slows down, the glider is still going fast so it slides out of the rig.
either that or a remote release. think it'll work? Derrik |

Hi, this is Ethel Craven-Sweet and my brother is willing to do our Paternal DNA testing. I want to order the DNA test this week. I am also going to do our Maternal side.
What has been your experience with the DNA Company you chose? Were you satisfied with the results?
I am interested in where we came from in Africa more than what races I am mixed with, although family lore says the slaveholder is my great great grandfather on my paternal side (CRAVEN/S).
Any help will be appreciated--NOW please! And thanks a lot.

25 Celebs Gone Purple to Support GLAAD
Anyone going purple for GLAAD's Spirit Day today is in some famous — and colorful — company.
Celebrities from television, film, music, sports, and media have joined GLAAD as official Spirit Day ambassadors, committing to speaking out on the organization's behalf for equality and no bullying for LGBTQ young people. Some are themselves members of the LGBTQ community, and some are straight allies. All are important in spreading the message that all people deserve to be treated with respect, regardless of sexual orientation or identity. Many, many more famous faces and voices have hit Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram to show support in their own ways.
"Call me Betty Purple," said Betty White, appearing with the cast of Hot In Cleveland in a video they made in support of Spirit Day:
[videopost src='http://youtu.be/ZPuABLtQUxQ']
Were you bullied as a child, a teenager, or a young adult? I was — not for my sexual orientation or identity real or assumed, but for my appearance, mostly. It was uncomfortable at best, and really scary on the worst days. There is nothing worse than going into an environment where you are treated poorly and abusively for nothing more than showing up. In a perfect world, parents, teachers, and other authority figures would always be able to protect young people from this kind of treatment, but we know from the news and from our own daily lives that this isn't always possible. Much of this behavior happens on a peer-to-peer level, and choosing to participate in it or not is an individual decision.
You can check out GLAAD's Spirit Day resources on Facebook, Twitter, and there is even a Spirit Day radio station. Things like Spirit Day can be more than just photo opportunities and an excuse to change our avatars on social networks — whether a celebrity tells us to or not. Events like this just didn't exist when I was young. Sexual identity and orientation and bullying for any reason were not openly discussed in school, nor were they addressed in the media. Kids still struggle. I've seen this as a teacher and as a relative and a friend. Still, events like GLAAD Spirit Day, and the visibility of organizations like GLAAD, show signs of progress, if not perfection. I think it's a great thing for young people who identify as LGBTQ to see and experience, and for all all of us, young and old, straight and gay.
Every day can be Spirit Day, and in my world, I try to make it so just by the way I treat people. I like the kids I encounter to know that they're equal in my eyes every day, whether my avatar or my clothes are purple or green or any other shade in the rainbow. Today is just special — like an anti-bullying, super-equality Christmas. There's nothing bad about that, as far as I'm concerned, as long as I consider tomorrow and every day after that Spirit Day, too.

Belgian First Division wrap: Lokeren edge out Brugge
By Football News
Lokeren have stunned Club Brugge 3-2, denying them the lead in the Belgian First Division, as four clubs ended the round on top with 22 points.
Hamdi Harbaoui was the main man for Lokeren, scoring one goal and creating another, as the visitors from just west of Brugge took the three points.
Sunday's result, alongside Genk's 1-1 draw away to Kortrijk, ensured Zulte Waregem finished the 12th round on top of the Belgian First Division's standings with 22 points tied with Brugge, Anderlecht and Genk.
Zulte Waregem are top because they have seven victories from 12 games; more than the three other clubs on 22 points.
In Brugge, Harbaoui scored the opening goal for Lokeren in the 15th minute but the home side struck back nine minutes later when Mohammed Tchite hit the back of the net.
But Lokeren replied almost instantly with a goal from Niil de Pauw in the 26th minute and held the 2-1 lead until half-time.
Harbaoui set-up Ayanda Patosi for Lokeren's third goal, just six minutes after the break, and although Tchite scored again in the 70th minute, the visitors held on for victory.
In Kortrijk, Genk took the lead in the 51st minute when Thomas Buffel passed to Jelle Vossen, who scored.
But the home team denied Genk a victory and top spot in Belgium when Pablo Chavarria hit the back of the net in the final minute.

Whitney Houston's mother, daughter, cousin Dionne Warwick and mentor Clive Davis paid their respects to the singer at a private wake on Friday evening.
Just a day before the superstar's funeral in New Jersey on Saturday, Houston's loved ones visited the Whigham Funeral Home in Newark, where her body was transported to following her death in Los Angeles last week.
Hundreds of fans lined the street outside the funeral parlor, where floral tributes were laid in the star's honor.
Bobbi Kristina Brown, her daughter with ex-husband Bobby Brown, was accompanied to the wake by her grandmother Cissy Houston and the group arrived in a string of limousines and SUVs.
Once inside, grief-stricken guests were faced with a large photograph of Houston in the lobby, flanked by a black microphone stand and a chair with a fur throw and a Bible set on top it, according to New Jersey's Star-Ledger.
Davis stayed inside for about an hour and as he left, a silver car carrying Houston's cousin Warwick pulled up. She is scheduled to speak during the funeral at Newark's New Hope Baptist Church on Saturday.
Alicia Keys, Aretha Franklin, Kevin Costner, CeCe Winans and Stevie Wonder are among the other celebrities expected to speak or sing during the ceremony.

I took a bunch of old records that were pretty worthless, think Avon Christmas 1970, and I primed their glossy surface then painted them using white, brown, and blue.
I then hot glued them together and painted an acoustic guitar shape on them in brown and white craft paint. Again, not perfect, but pretty good for handmade art.
Next up this letter wall art piece thingy...don't you like the names I come up with for my finished projects?
Okay, so I had these old letters that were painted brown, originally hung up in his room with cute green ribbon that spelled out his name. I had ripped the baby-ish ribbons off the back knowing I wasn't going to put them up in his new room looking like that. This was his big boy room, so no RIBBONS! I kept the letters for a while before thinking up what I wanted to do with them.
Today I spray painted the L letter blue (same color I used for the records) and got out a couple of frames and spray painted them as well (the smaller one is from the dollar tree and the larger one was given to me a few years ago but I never used it for anything). After painting everything I took the backing from the larger frame and covered it in the brown burlap we had left over from the bookshelf. I hot glued the L to the burlap, and then the white frame to the burlap. I put them back into the larger frame and then hung the piece on his wall.
Closer look:
The L is a little crooked but eh, it is what it is, a free piece of art using a bunch of left over supplies.
Uggh, on a side note, our air is broke and so is our heater...it is 90.5 degrees in our house and has been almost all day. Need proof?
It's so hot our boy stripped down and went half clothed today.
See, even wearing both shoes was too much for him.
Okay, well I hope you like some of the ideas and projects I shared. I love reading all your blogs and finding many more ideas/projects to try out.

Levee Report Recommends Relocations
By Eileen Fleming
New Orleans, La. – Experts from the National Academy of Engineering and the National Research Council in Washington, D.C., say residents should at least elevate their houses. They found the Corp of Engineers plan to protect the city from a so-called 100-year-flood is inadequate. And that system won't be finished for two more years. One-hundred-year floods have a one-in-a-hundred chance of hitting in any given year. But telling residents where they can -- and cannot return -- sparks a political firestorm in New Orleans, most of which flooded after Hurricane Katrina levee breaks in 2005. Many of the neighborhoods still struggling are poor and working class. The report also calls on officials to come up with comprehensive evacuation plans and long-term regional shelters.
For NPR News, I'm Eileen Fleming in New Orleans.

Re: What do I do if someone anchors too close?
Another vote for pictures, police report, YARD ESTIMATE for total repair of the damage, and if you have insurance, let the insurer pursue the action against him. Make it clear that you were legally anchored and asleep and woke up to find his vessel had struck yours and damaged it.
Doublecheck any anchorage regulations for where you were, i.e. in the Northeast US there are formal anchorages where you may be required to keep an anchor watch, and you'd have a harder time explaining things if you were in violation of something like that.
But without the pictures and the police report, it becomes "he says she says" and you'll just be screwed. I think when you price out some deck damage and stanchions, you'll see why you want to pursue this.
There is no reason, NO REASON, whether you had a 1:1 scope or a 1:10 scope, to excuse a boat from being abandoned (anchored uncrewed) in a manner that allowed it to hit another boat. As the newest arrival, it is 100% their responsibility to make Real Damn Sure they don't hit anything.

More copies of this ISBNPulse: Storiesby Julian Barnes
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:After the best-selling Arthur & George and Nothing to Be Frightened Of, Julian Barnes returns with fourteen stories about longing and loss, friendship and love, whose mysterious natures he examines with his trademark wit and observant eye.
From an imperial capital in the eighteenth century to Garibaldis adventures in the nineteenth, from the vineyards of Italy to the English seaside in our time, he finds the "stages, transitions, arguments" that define us. A newly divorced real estate agent cant resist invading his reticent girlfriends privacy, but the information he finds reveals only his callously shallow curiosity. A couple come together through an illicit cigarette and a song shared over the din of a Chinese restaurant. A widower revisiting the Scottish island hed treasured with his wife learns how difficult it is to purge oneself of grief. And throughout, friends gather regularly at dinner parties and perfect the art of cerebral, sometimes bawdy banter about the world passing before them. Whether domestic or extraordinary, each story pulses with the resonance, spark, and poignant humor for which Barnes is justly heralded. Review:"Companionship — the search for, the basking in, and the loss of — binds Barnes's first-rate collection of short stories, his first since 2004's The Lemon Table. In a lesser author's hands, a single story composed almost entirely of dialogue — let alone four of them — would collapse under the pressure of carrying off such a task and still moving along the narrative. But Barnes proves himself an erudite fly on the wall in his 'At Phil and Joanna's' series, which involves the postdinner conversations of a group of London friends discussing everything from the 2008 election to marmalade, sex, and testicle operations — and each character comes alive despite the slightest hints of description and exposition. Vernon in 'East Wind,' on the other hand, takes the notion of observing a step too far during an awkward courtship with a German waitress in a seaside town. Though their circumstances couldn't be more different, the characters in 'Sleeping with John Updike,' 'Gardeners' World,' and 'Harmony' all find themselves at one time or another content in the knowledge of the space they share with a friend, spouse or healer, yet it is when this companionship is just out of reach, as in the dryly witty 'Trespass,' or snuffed out, as in the poignant title story, that Barnes shines brightest. (May)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright PWxyz LLC)
Review:"Elegance and versatility — those familiar Barnes strengths define this latest story collection from the distinguished British author....Another impressive addition to an already impressive oeuvre." Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
Review:"Marvelously inventive....Pulse sneaks up on you, and by the end, you cannot help but be moved. These are stories that illuminate characters not through dramatic epiphanies but real, small turns in the road and moments of change. [Barnes's] prose is rich without being showy; he has a precision and economy of language that at times recalls William Trevor. Above all, Pulse shows a contemporary master working at the height of his ability." Jill Owens, The Oregonian
Review:"Filled with gems...beautiful, elegiac tales about how marriages endure or change over time....A testament to Mr. Barnes's full panoply of talents...[He's a] confident literary decathlete, proficient at old-fashioned storytelling, dialogue-driven portraiture, postmodern collage, political allegory and farce, [and the] ability to create narratives with both surface brio and finely calibrated philosophical subtexts." Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

Single Car Crash In Levy County Kills Child, Injures 5 Others
CHIEFLAND - A single car accident Saturday morning in Levy County is responsible for one death and several injuries. One of the children who were in the vehicle is fighting to stay alive.
The accident happened around 9:30 this Saturday morning. Florida highway Patrol Troppers say a family of 6 were driving in a red Ford Expedition on US 27 near Northwest 10th Avenue. The driver Stacey Anne James lost control of the vehicle when the car's right rear tire blew out, the car overturned multiple times.
According to FHP officials one of the passengers, a 7-year-old child passed away. Another, a 9 year old girl is currently in the operating room in critical condition. "The vehicle overturned a total of three times on the north shoulder. While overturning, three of the occupants were ejected from the vehicle. All of the occupants ended up being transported by helicopter or ambulance to Shands at the University of Florida," Anthony Dobosiewicz a Corporal for Florida Highway Patrol.
The three passengers who were ejected from the car were not wearing their seatbelt. Florida Highway Patrol will continue their investigation and examine this ford SUV to learn more details as to why the tire separated from the car.

At least part of the Meuse water passes through Rotterdam (often called the "Maasstad" ("Meuse town"))
From Rotterdam this (not so big) part of the Meuse water flows on to the sea through the "Nieuwe waterweg" [3]
The next place this part of the Meuse water passes is Maassluis (Meuse sluice) [4], situated on the northern border of the Nieuwe waterweg
Also on the same border the town of Hoek van Holland [5] finds itself (on the 'edge' of waterway and sea).
By far the biggest part of the Meuse water however passes to the Northsea through other, more southern located parts of the Rhine–Meuse–Scheldt delta[6]
Near Willemstad [7] the two largest inlets of the Northsea through which most of the Meuse water passes (the Haringvliet and the Volkerak) meet each other.
Hellevoetsluis [8] is situated on the northern border of the Haringvliet.
Stellendam [9] is situated on the southern border of the Haringvliet.
But there's a fourth (the most southern) sea inlet through which part of the Meuse water passes. It's called the Ooster Schelde [12] and the water gets there from the Grevelingen through the Mastgat.

Best-selling Mattresses
There are basically three common types of mattresses used today: spring mattresses, memory foam mattresses, inflatable mattresses and feather beds. Each type has its own benefits. A mattress pad is a less expensive way to add comfort to your bed than purchasing a whole new mattress. With that said, if your mattress is lumpy or saggy, a mattress topper probably won't make much difference. If it is good, though, you have many different choices in material, price, and comfort. Whatever you get, just make sure you purchase the right size for your bed frame. Take a look below to learn more about the best-selling mattresses on the market.
Choosing the Right Density for Your Memory Foam Mattress
A decade ago, choosing a memory foam mattress was easier because there were so few brands and options. However, as the prices of memory foam mattresses have dropped, more brands have begun producing memory foam bedding, and choosing the right mattress has become more challenging. However, one factor remains constant throughout the different brands: memory foam density. Memory foam density, expressed in pounds per cubic foot, makes a big difference in the softness, durability, support, and price of your mattress. Knowing a little about the different densities of memory foam mattresses can simplify the buying process and help you find the memory foam mattress that's right for you.
